The High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon is the undisputed head of the church, Vicar of God, and inheritor of the spiritual authority of the Exalted. The High Pontiff is elected by the Holy Synod upon the death of the previous Pontiff.


History of High Pontificate

The first iteration of what would eventually become the High Pontiff was the High Priest of the Temple of the True Faith. The founders of this predecessor of the church were High Priests Evaristus I and Clement I, who received the Scroll of Virtue and the Scroll of Spirit from Exalted Owyn. When Emperor Godfrey Horen received the Scroll of Gospel he centralized the Temple under the authority of the Holy Emperors. The Temple was later independent under Exalted Sigismund, the fourth and final prophet, when he was given the fourth and final Scroll: the Scroll of Auspice. Under Sigismund the Temple of the True Faith was rebranded as the Church of the Canon, in order to honor the culmination of God's prophecy for humanity.

Third Interregnum 1460-1471

The Third Interregnum was caused by the abolition of the Church at the hands of Robert Chivay and the institution of the Reformed Communion, a caesaropapist tradition presided over by High Patriarch Thomas I, which greatly curbed the rights of the clergy. Church activity waned until the Vibian Coup, and the Canonist Church was restored by the will of Thomas I.
